The Husband’s Sweater Project

My husband has been very supportive of my knitting hobby. He takes pleasure in being involved with my knitting in any way he can. He helps me winds yarn, comments on my knitting, gives his opinion when I can’t take decisions and in general is very appreciative of my hobby. When such a sweet guy requests you for a hand knit sweater, you don’t make him wait for 3 years, do you? Which is exactly what I did. Every year, his birthday whooshes by and I drown in my own guilt and vow to finish his sweater by his next birthday, only for it pass whooshing by without a completed sweater in my hand. I decided to take the bull by its horns and start working on it at the beginning of the year itself so that I have a good 11 months to knit this sweater.

Thus was born The Husband’s Sweater Project. After going over the Ravelry pattern database, I decided to make up my own pattern. Husband wants a plain pullover (cables would be nice, but I am bored of knitting cables), so I decided to make a basic top-down raglan. I love top-down because one can try them as you go and raglan is easy to calculate (for me).
